MILK AND DAIRY PRODUCTS

The great importance of milk in the diet is due to that fact that it contains most of the essential food constituents in easily digestible form. It represents the best source of calcium, a good source of vitamins A, B complex and C, and contains fat, sugar, proteins, and, in smaller amounts, all the other essential minerals.

Composition of milk. The average percentage of water is 87. The carbohydrates are lactose, which is held in solution along with the minerals as soluble salts. The fat (butter fat) is emulsified, part of the protein of the milk acting as emulsifying agent. The yellow colour of milk is due to the colour pigment of the fat, which, in turn, is derived from the green food eaten by the cow.The principal proteins are casein and albumin. Casein is probably a mixture of compound proteins, the phosphoproteins, and is in part associated with calcium as calcium caseinate. The mixture of casein and calcium.caseinate is often called coseinogen.

Cream.The cream of milk is best separated by a centrifuge, which may be so regulated that cream of any desired fat-content may be obtained. Cream contains the same constituents as milk, but in a very different proportion. It resembles milk in many of its properties. Cream intended for retailing is usually of two grades – heavy or whipping cream and coffee cream. Whipping cream must contain not less than 30 percent of fat and coffee cream not less than 18 percent.

Cheeses.The curd of milk which has undergone changes in its composition through the growth of microorganisms is a fair definition of cheese. Most cheeses are made from the acid curds. All cheeses may be considered as rich sources of proteins and minerals, especially calcium.

Butter.If cream is whipped or churned for a long time, the fat globules combine, and fat separates out in lumps which include some of the proteins, milk sugar and salts with a considerable quantity of water adhering. This mass is essentially butter. All butters contain a high percentage of vitamin A, the amount varying with the breed of cattle and the season of the year.

Ice creamis made from milk, milk solids, cream, flavourings, and sweeteners.

Nuts and fruits are sometimes added. Ice cream is higher in calories than milk.

Yogurtis made by fermenting milk (whole, skim, or low-fat milk or milk solids) with different strains of bacteria. Most commercial yogurts are low in fat and high (20%) in galactose. But more than half the weight of some yogurts consists of added sugar and fruits. Dairy or related products also include filled and +imitation dairy products (for example, filled cheese). Most filled products contain milk solid and nonbutter fat; they come in forms such as cheese and canned milk. An imitation dairy product is one that resembles real milk products, especially in flavour and cooking characteristics, but does not contain any milk solids. Instead, it contains nondairy ingredients.

In the last few years, the consumption of dairy products has declined for various reasons. Technology has created a large number of nutritious beverages. The threat of high blood cholesterol and obesity has also played a role; many consumers use dairy substitutes instead. In addition, many people are still ignorant about the value of milk.

VII. Read the text and make up 5-7 questions:

MILK

Cow milk is the most complete of all foods having nearly all the constituents of nutritional importance to man, though it has little iron and vitamins C and D. There is not any other product of animal origin having such an amount of carbohydrate, in the form of disaccharide lactose. It is a very good source of vitamins A, B, C, of calcium. Milk contains fat, sugar, proteins and all the other minerals.

Any person needs about half a litre every day, of which an increasing proportion consists of skimmed and semi-skimmed products. In a mixed diet milk is valuable for its content of high quality protein, and is a rich source of riboflavin.

Whole milk can be a good source of energy, which is particularly important for young children. Skimmed or semi-skimmed milks may be useful for those who drink a lot of milk and who wish to reduce their fat intake.

Milk is widely used by man. It can serve as a basis for many important foods.

It is a basic product for the preparation of such products as butter, different kinds of cheese, cakes, some kinds of bread and sweets.

VIII. Decide whether the following statements are true or false:

1. Cow milk has all the nutrients necessary for man. T/F

2. Cow milk has a lot of iron and vitamin C. T/F

3. Cow milk does not have much carbohydrate in the form of disaccharide lactose. T/F

4. Milk is a good source of calcium and other minerals. T/F
